This thesis introduces a method to eliminate the electrochemical oxidation that takes place during sample ionization by using liquid sample desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) method. Several organic compounds including N, N, N', N'-tetramethyl-pphenylenediamine (TMPD), N-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (PPD), phenothiazine (PT), andtriphenylamine (TPA)were observed to produce significant amount of oxidized product ions when electrospray ionization (ESI) in the positive mode ion was used for their ionization due to the inherent oxidation by ESI. Interestingly, the oxidation of these organic compounds can be avoided by using liquid sample desorption electrospray ionization (DESI). This phenomenon could be explained by the fact that no high voltage is directly applied to the sample solution during DESI analysis. Master of Analytical Chemistry.
